Xda-developers say "Campfire" is the codename of the Windows dual-boot project. That means that entry-level 16GB Chromebooks won't be able to support the feature, not that Windows 10 would even work, as Microsoft's own system requirements list the OS as needing 16GB of storage for a 32-bit system or 20GB on a 64-bit system.

Again, no guarantee - but you and I are both secretly hoping for it, and ... (more...)
